Please note that there is limited power available for the three PCI expansion
connectors.
There are only 20W available on the 3.3V power pins and 5V pins combined.
If a 2.5” hard disk is used, it will also need to share the available power.

It's almost certainly a power issue as power draw for the lan card
will not be a static thing - ie will increase when transmitting
packets vs idle.
Yes, only I'd expect the increase in power draw to

Yes, only I'd expect the increase in power draw to be the same when the

That's an intersting theory. I also run an external nic in the PCI
slot

Best case is that you have access to a DC-regulated power supply,
perhaps one of these -

Ubiquiti/Atheros-based mini-PCI card .. if memory serves I think it was
an XR-2 .. in that case though the miniPCI card would sort of brown
